Your new role
As a Young People's Project Officer, you'll deliver a blend of 1-1 support, group work, advice, signposting, and practical assistance to young people aged 16-24. You'll work 35 hours per week, Monday to Friday, on a rota of shifts between 8am and 8pm. The role includes supervising young people within the service, covering reception when required, attending external appointments, and providing steady, reliable support that helps young people build confidence and independence.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
